Fish and chip van for events in Lions Green
About our fish and chip van for events in Lions Green
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. We serve mushy peas, chips and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater charity fundraisers and community events and sports club events and race days.
At a field event near Lions Green, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Questions from Lions Green
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Lions Green close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Information about power and water
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
